This is great but I appear to have a small issue.
I noticed after installing mods in Windhawk that the explorer was a lot slower. There is a perceptible lag when opening a drive or a folder.
I tracked it down to your mod. When I turn it off the lag is gone.
I really like this so I guess I'll just have to live with the sluggish behaviour.

You can enable SysListView32 via registry or using ExplorerPatcher. |

Yes, these would be faster. Windhawk is a hook, while deleting 2 registry keys will make it gone for good. To do this, you'll simply need to open up Regedit, search "ItemsView", take ownership of the key then delete/rename it. Do it for all occurences so the effect takes place across all apps.

If it is still slow, this means you get slowed down by thumbnails generator or another shell extension.

Hi I tried that and it is definitely still slower. So I dunno if it's a bit faster than the Windhawk mod or the same.
Perhaps SysListView32 is just a slower way of doing things and that's why Microsoft abandoned it?
I'll need to check my virtual XP machine and see how it is in there.

In XP on my virtual machine Explorer is nippy so there must be something slowing SysListView32 down.

Also noticed that even thought I can move files around freely in a folder like I could in XP it is not remembered. Closing a folder and reopening and it all goes back to Windows default ordering.

Hmm.
Trying to figure out how to do it but in that thread you state, 'The disadvantage is sorting mode is not remembered ' and in another thread you state in Desktop mode '* Icon rearrangement is not remembered.'

Maybe I forgot this. Then it should be remembered in usual SysListView32 mode... Try disabling auto-sorting. |

Hmm pretty sure I done that. Unchecked align to grid and autosort.
Perhaps the feature to remember has been removed in stupid Windows 11?

Moved the Drive C from first position to the middle. Closed the folder and opened again. Now it is on the third position, not 1st, nor 2nd. So, it is remembered, but wrongly. I think, it has to do with 32px icons mod: the system thinks the icons are 48px and calculates the positions according to this. Maybe, another cause, but the thing is, it is remembered but wrongly. |

*edit* I just realised that I totally misunderstood the 32px icon mod. I thought it was to change the minimum icon size from 48px to 32px but I see it's not.
So I can enable the desktop mode without altering the icons and it should remember?
I am quite new to all this so I still don't fully understand everything yet.
